What Miss Universe 2015, Pia Wurtzbach, Taught Me

Sunday, December 27, 2015

After more than four decades of waiting, the Philippines has come to reach its most coveted victory in the Universe. It's been a week already since Pia Wurtzbach was crowned as the Miss Universe 2015 yet, most of us are still not over with it.

It took her three attempts to bring home the crown that every beauty queen is aspiring for. From her first try to join the Binibining Pilipinas in 2013, she ended up as the first runner up while on her second try in 2014, she went home with nothing. But this year, Pia proved that third time's a charm because she bagged the title Binibining Pilipinas-Universe. Meaning, she will represent the country in the most prestigious beauty pageant in the universe.Knowing her story, I realized something. Successful people are the ones who know what they want and do something about it. For Pia, she wanted the crown so bad that it didn't stop her to chase her ultimate dream. Look at where she is now, the elusive crown is on her already. Because of her good example, she has inspired many people. And I have to admit that, I am, too. With her journey to victory, she taught me some things:

1. Never settle for something good. Go for the better. The best, rather. I've always believed in this and keep on telling to the people who think that I dream too big: Mangangarap ka na lang din naman, bakit hindi mo pa taasan? I don't see the point of success if you're out there with the "good" when you know you can have better.

2. It's okay to fail sometimes. And I mean it. Everybody fails, though some are afraid to admit it. Failure is inevitable and there's nothing you can do to change that except to embrace it. Some people lose hope and become unmotivated when failure blocks them. But guess what, the more you fail, the stronger you get. Don't fret if you've failed many times already because it just makes success that much sweeter. To succeed after multiple failure is one of the best feelings in the world. You'll feel a great sense of satisfaction because you know that everything you went through was all worth it.

3. Don't ever stop, because the moment you stop trying, that's the moment you failed. There's nothing wrong with trying and trying and trying all over again. Your road to success will not be easy as one, two, three and it will never be. So what if they tell you that you're trying hard? Let them and be it. Try hard because you want it so bad. At the end of the day, everything you've worked for will pay off.

4. Be confidently beautiful with a heart. Show the world what you can do. Be proud but not arrogant. Just like Pia, being confidently beautiful with a heart will win you so many things and your dream is part of it.

I agree with all of these. With her fighting spirit and beauty, no doubt that she'll take home the crown. I like that she never quit and even tried and tried until she reached what she wants. She's a perfect role model :)
